BEGUN AT LAST.
David Anderson Placed on Trial i'm Hen
rico Circuit Court.

On the night of May II, 1886, Rev.
W. c. Hall and his wife were brutally
assaulted and left insensible in their
own residence. The assault occurred
near Four-Mile Greek church, about ten
miles from Richmond. The parties max
ing the assault were unknown, and the
affair created excitement. Mr.. Hall was
nearly seventyeight years of age, and
his wife was some years his junior. The
worthy couple were not known to have
an enemy
At first suspicion could not be directed
against any particular party. A Swedish
tramp was arrested soon afterwards and
committed to Jail as suspicious and sus-
pected party. While this man was still
in jail, David Anderson, well-known
cOlored man of the locality, was arrested
and the tramp was released.
The case against Anderson was con
tinued from time to time and finally the
charge Of murderous assault was aban-
doned and one for burglary substituted.
1t was on this charge that he was ar
raigned and plead not guilty last Thurs
day, and the case was continued until
yesterday morning.
At II o'clock the trial began. The fol-
lowing jury was obtained W. A. Smith,
William Talley, A. J. Via, E. L. Ford,
Frederick Lynn, Samuel Waldrop, NJ. w.
Lawrence, John NJ. King, c. II. Harris,
NJ. w. Tiller, Rufus Gwathmey, and John
G. Foutts.
The Commonwealth was represented
by Mr.. George w Thomas, Common
wealth's attorney, and Mr.. Edgar Allan
The defence is being conducted by
Messrs. George Bryan and William Fl
Beverage.
Rev. Mr. Hall was the first witness
and testified to the facts OF the assault
as far as he was able to remember As
might be expected, from the sudden and
unexpected attack, he was unable 10 re
member much. He was unable positively
to identify Anderson as his assaiant. He
was subjected to very thorough cross
examination.
Some half dozen other witnesses were
axamIned and at 2:30 o'clock the court
adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning

The audience to greet Annie Pixley,
last night was not as large as ii should
have been. But it was a very fair and
certainly a well pleased one She has
lost none Of the grace and charms which
make her so popular in "M'liss." As the
Deac0n'S Daughter she was arch,
natural and versatile, and her acting and
singing was loudly applauded. Her sup
port is very good. Mr.. NJ. G. DAILY, who
plays the Deacon, has been here with
Florence, "The Bankers Daughter" and
other companies, and is a capital old
man.
The orchestra under Professor George

eacoreS The orchestra gave some beauti-
full selections from Martha" and THE

NEARLY CAUSES A SERIOUS CONFLA-
GRAFTON.
Whitehurst & Ovens Woodworking Es-
tabIishment on Fire-Three Alarms from
Box IA Colored Fireman Employed
at the Mill Loses His Life.

At sos Yesterday morning all the bells
in the city began to ring fire in very
lively manner The morning being
warm and sultry, helped to increase the
loudness Of the sound. In few seconds
il was discovered that the old familiar
box IA. which had already been turned
in three times before this month, was
being struck.
This box is located at the corner OF
Tenth and Byrd streets, and is the same
one which called the apparatus TO the
paper-mill fire.
The fire was found to be In the sash,
door, and blind factory of Whitehurst Il
Owen. which is located on the east side
of Tenth street, between Byrd street and
the river. The smoke for several blocks
around was nearly stiffiing, and the burn
ing shavings could be plainly smelt over
half mile off. The stock in the building,
consisting almost entirely of seasoned
lumber, was of a particularly combusti-
bic character.
In a few seconds Steamer and Hose
Carriage No. 3, Hose Company No. l.,
Hook and Ladder Truck No /, and
Steamer and Hose Carriage No. 4, were
on the ground. Hose Company No.
was the first to arrive and went promptly
to work, and it is owing mainly to their
efforts that the fire was kept in bounds
until the arrival of the remainder Of the
department
